Smoke Hole Caverns

Smoke Hole Caverns' unparalleled natural beauty and magnificent formations are the result of millions
of years of intriate chemical processes and trillions of drops of mineral laden water.

American Oil Company Geologist, Dr. Roy Sites, said, "Caves developed in highly contorted or
deformed areas are not very common. Smoke Hole Caverns is therefore a geologically unique natural
laboratory to study earth science. Smoke Hole Caverns' geologic history is one of the most complex I
have ever seen. It is indeed a speleogist's paradise to the observant eye."

The uniqueness of Smoke Hole Caverns' formations is best exemplified by: genuine Crystal Cave Coral
Pool, found in only one other cavern in the world, with golden rainbow trout; the world's longest ribbon
or bacon stalactite, and a sparkling room of a Million of Stalactites, with second highest ceiling of any
cavern in the eastern United States, towering 274 feet.

While mystified with these unusual monuments of ancient geological processes, the supernatural beauty
of the glistening White Alaskan Glacier, majestic Queen's Canopy, time polished Flowstone Dome with
Artesian Spring and Rainbow Falls will infatuate you.

Smoke Hole Caverns were meticulously created by the master touch of nature over millions of years.
And, unlike some celebrated World Wonders, Smoke Hole Caverns is still receiving Nature's magical
touch of creation. Yes, visitors see the stunning evidence of past unique geological processes and
current geological creation. The variety of stalactite and stalagmite formation will inflame your
imagination.

Evidence of these past cataclysmic events beneath the Earth's crust is the vertical walls within the
caverns and nearby perpendicular Seneca Rocks. Perhaps, it was during all these upheavals and
quaking that Smoke Hole Caverns received its "274 foot" ceilinged Room of a Million Stalactites.

Smoke Hole Caverns' Perfect Columns are considered phenomenal beauties by geologists, naturalists
and speleologists alike. When you see them, you will know why.

Another exceptional result of Smoke Hole Caverns' creation during the uplift of the Appalachian
Mountains is an underground lake which is 125 feet long, 55 feet wide and approximately 18 inches
deep.

Other geologically unique cavern formations are the helicitites which defy the laws of gravity while
puzzling geologists, and flowstones which are formed by water seeping out from the contorted walls of
the caverns and flowing down the sides. One hundred to hundred-twenty-five years is required to form
one cubic inch of flowstone.

Yes, wherever you look, you will see the master touch of nature in Smoke Hoke [sic] "Show" Caverns.
